About Us

Aspire empowers Enterprises, CCM-CXM Software and Service Providers, as well as Investors and Strategy Buyers with unbiased guidance and actionable insights delivered through a variety of highly specialized services.

History

Aspire was founded in 2015 as a specialist advisory firm dedicated to the CCM-CXM markets, and continues to grow its offerings in a quickly-evolving industry for its clients’ needs today. In 2018, Aspire launched the Aspire Leaderboard, which remains the only dynamic CCM-CXM Software Vendor and Service Provider comparison tool. The Leaderboard is divided into a number of different grids with each one dedicated to a particular segment of the customer communications market. Aspire will soon debut a new Interactions Experience Management (IXM) grid focused on the evolving form, chatbots, and interactive personalized video markets. We have also recently launched the Aspire Sales Enablement (ASE) program, which is specifically designed to empower our provider clients' sales teams by equipping them with relevant market insights. 

Why Aspire

Unlike other industry analysts, Aspire is uniquely focused on the Customer Communications and Experience industry with a combined 100 years of dedicated experience. Aspire works with both CCM-CXM Vendors and Enterprises in the market, offering holistic and practical consulting and advice that helps clients develop and embrace better products and services, as well as faster communication transformation strategies.

Unlike the traditional annual assessment cycles, the vendor assessments on the Aspire Leaderboard are updated on a continuous basis, in order to more accurately reflect the fast-changing nature of the market. This is supported by a dynamic, online market analysis tool that visualizes the market, adapting dynamically to reflect individual buyers' requirements.
